In the book ‘Agony of Sita’ the feelings of Rama’s wife are being narrated starting from her birth to till her entry to the bosom of mother earth. Sita was the daughter of king Janaka ad the wife of the great king Rama of Ayodhya, but she spent most of the days of her lifetime in exile. Although Sita is the central woman character in the Ramayana and her nature and quality has been described in different manners, but nowhere the agony and feelings of Sita is being described in Ramayana. In this book, the author tries to explain the feelings of a woman that are same whether she is the daughter/wife of a great king or a woodcutter. Although Sita was the woman of Tetra age, but the author describes that Sita’s perceptions and feelings are similar with the female of today’s world. This verified fact has bee nicely reflected in the book.

Another specialty of the book is the analysis of all the characters of the great epic Ramayana by Sita. In her analysis, she realized that a person can’t be magnanimous even if he is born in a royal family. This has been described with examples of Rakshasa dynasty where high-minded soul like Trijata, Sarama, etc. could realize Sita’s mental pain and agony.

At last, the author describes how Sita wishes to be the wife of Rama through all her lives in spite of having spent greater part of her life in exile bearing the grief, annoyance and poverty, which had changed her to a completely different woman.
